Smile now Cry Later 🎭

A soul-full & funky movement

who are we?

SNCL Presents is a culture-driven event brand rooted in Salt Lake City, dedicated to creating experiences that bring people together through music, art, and community. What started as a vision to build something real for the city has grown into a platform that blends nightlife, street culture, and creative expression into one.

From high-energy parties to laid-back daytime gatherings, SNCL curates moments that feel authentic to the people. Our events aren’t just something you attend—they’re something you’re part of.

Through concepts like Kick Back in the City, we’ve built a space where lowrider culture, local vendors, live DJs, food, art, and community all collide. It’s a modern-day street festival inspired by West Coast roots—where families, creatives, and tastemakers come together in one place.

With our Paint & Sip experiences, we take a different approach—creating environments where people can tap into their creativity while still enjoying music, drinks, and good energy. It’s about expression, connection, and making art accessible to everyone.

We also bring in elements of swap meets, flea market culture, and local pop-ups, giving small businesses, artists, and vendors a platform to grow and be seen. Supporting the community isn’t just part of what we do—it’s the foundation of everything we build.

At its core, SNCL is about pushing culture forward in a way that feels inclusive, creative, and real. Every event is designed with intention—to highlight the people, the sound, and the energy that make the city what it is.

This isn’t just nightlife.

This isn’t just events.

This is community. This is culture. This is SNCL.

SNCL Presents is led by David Rivas (Davey Dave) and David Sigala (Dirty Dave), two DJs and creatives rooted in Salt Lake City’s evolving music and culture scene.

Raised in Southern California, Davey Dave grew up immersed in early 2000s West Coast culture, surrounded by lowrider cruises down Bristol. That influence runs deep in everything he does today… bringing backyard boogie energy to Salt Lake City and curating experiences that feel authentic, and nostalgic. Through SNCL, he channels that upbringing into events that blend music, culture, and community in a way that resonates.

Alongside him is his longtime friend and collaborator, Dirty Dave, whose deep connection to the Latin music scene and years of experience booking talent have helped shape some of the city’s most memorable events. His ear for music and ability to move a crowd adds a powerful layer to everything SNCL creates.

Together, they combine their strengths to build something bigger than nightlife… creating platforms that highlight the city, support local creatives, and deliver moments people don’t just attend, but actually feel.
